A man from Guatemala worked for 11 years in the United States - living frugally to save up money to take back to his home country. As a dishwasher, Pedro Zapeta, made around $5.50 an hour. He was able to save up $59,000, but when he tried to return to his country, US customs officials seized his money. Now, nearly 2 years later, Pedro is still fighting to get his money back.
